2025 Program
2025 Fall Season
- Hadestown
Adapted from the Tony Award winning (8!) Broadway sensation, "Hadestown." East Haven is bringing Anais Mitchell's unique vision to the marching band field with the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Featuring on-field student actors, live vocals, and narrated by the god Hermes, this is a 10 minute version of an all-time great tragic story. We will follow Orpheus as he falls in love with Eurydice, loses her to the Underworld, travels to implore the god Hades to release her, and attempt to bring her back to the land of the living. It's a story of love and optimism in the face of impossible odds.
